1:08, written and directed by Rick Walker, follows Lilly (Kelcie Weber), a once passionate artist now consumed by addiction and depression. As she speaks through her inner monologue, she is tempted to flip through the pages of her journal, but the early pages unleash painful memories.
She hasn’t touched her journal in two weeks, and as she reads the last few entries, she sees that she predicted her suicide today at 1:08 pm. What leaves her even more confused and terrified is a note she wrote to herself to call a doctor at 1:07 pm.

“…she sees that she predicted her suicide today at 1:08 pm.”
1:08 is a haunting short film about the voice in our head that questions our value in life and how, over time, that voice convinces us to end it all while, at the same time, there is a competing voice that desperately wants us to live. Loneliness and isolation only exacerbate the situation. Lily just needs to convince herself to talk to someone.
Walker contrasts the beauty of Lilly’s art with the heavy tone of her state of mind. Kelcie Weber conveys every emotion in Lilly’s face while giving a haunting and stoic voice-over to capture her every competing thought with little emotion. Walker’s dialogue is powerful, poignant, and, most importantly, a light of hope.
1:08 is a chilling yet profoundly moving exploration of the battles we fight within ourselves. It’s a stark reminder of the importance of reaching out when the inner voices become too loud and a testament to the power of holding on for just one more minute.
